Run: I finally bought substancial running shoes. Ran to the capitol twice this week. It’s tough to say it gets easier everytime, but I don’t regret choosing to push myself that much.
Lovers Week: Taylor took me to the Austin Symphony Orchestra. I wore a frilly dress. We avoided the love birds crowding all of the restaurants on valentines and stayed home and cooked a delicious pizza. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Photos: I made my first Cyanotypes! I also got my Senior Portraits taken. THIS IS GETTING REAL, GUYZ. I know he must bank on senior portraits, but that is not the photography path I want to take. Ask me that again when I’m broke and I’ll have to get over that fact to support my fine art love.
Friends: This month is going to be friends overload, but in such a great way! We are beginning to have people stay with us, and SXSW is only 3 weeks away!
This is a photo of African American doctors attempting to save the life of a Ku Klux Klan member. It is one of the most beautiful photographs I have ever seen.
Love is disarming.
I could not take my eyes off of this photograph for a good 5 minutes. This just proves, yet again, how incredible the medium of photography can be.

So happy this video was made! Can I have Taylor’s dress, sit by the fire & live in this video for a while?

My love took me to the Austin Symphony Orchestra the other night. We got dressed up, listened to some Bach and I felt so fancy.
Run: Another 7 miles. Taking too many days off just to make them up in Capitol runs. I feel really great after 3 miles, something I’ve never been able (or thought I) could do before this year, but consistency has not been my friend lately.
Pick me ups: Taylor surprised me with an hour long massage at AustinDeep where they specialize in athletes. An hour goes by so quickly when you let go of the world and all it’s cares. With running nearly everyday, my back has not gotten used to it, so the massage was heavenly. <3
Reading: Still reading Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. It’s very diary like, which are my favorite. Coincidentally, he brings up Cezanne’s paintings which are what we are studying in my Modern Art History Class. It’s enlightening to get his perspective of them at the time they were painted.
Cooking: I breaded my own chicken wings and baked them! They turned out delicious!
School: As if you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty excited to have made the Dean’s List. I surely thought it was a mistake until I saw my name on the wall. HA! I’ve had such a terrible relationship with college. But somehow I’ve come from wanting to quit to this little accomplishment that is huge to me. I’ve been on such a high lately. My photography professor, whom I look up to more than any professor I’ve ever had in college, unexpectedly gave me the greatest compliment on my thesis work. I spoke about consistency earlier, where are you?
